Part-Time Couples Therapist, Weekend Availability

Ferndale, MI · Hybrid Part-Time · Weekends $55/hr + Paid Admin Time

About Middle Way Wellness

Middle Way Wellness is a private practice in Ferndale, Michigan. We bring together therapy, yoga, and somatic work because we believe the body and mind are never really separate, and that good care meets people where they actually live: in their nervous systems, their relationships, and their daily lives.

We're a small, intentional team, and we hold ourselves to three commitments that shape everything we do. We think a practice can only offer its clients as much depth and steadiness as it offers the people working inside it, so we've built our culture around that idea.

Client Care

Depth, steadiness, and whole-person attention for the people we work with.

Clinician Care

A practice that invests in the people doing the work and supports their clinical and personal growth.

Community Care

Rooted connection to Ferndale and the wider Michigan community we serve.

About the Role

We're hiring a part-time licensed or limited-licensed therapist to focus on relational and couples work, with availability on weekends. Many couples can only make it to therapy on a Saturday or Sunday, and we want to be there for them.

This is a hybrid position: weekend sessions at our Ferndale office, alongside virtual sessions with couples across Michigan. Every couples inquiry starts with a free consultation, and couples are matched with the clinician who is the best fit for them, so you'll be stepping into an established process for bringing couples in the door.

Required for this role

  • Training in the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
  • Regular weekend availability
  • A current Michigan clinical license, full or limited (LLPC, LLMSW, LLMFT, or equivalent)

If you love relational work and you're looking for a small, community-oriented practice that takes couples therapy seriously, we'd love to talk with you.

Compensation

Clinicians are paid $55/hour for client sessions. Each clinical hour also earns an additional third of an hour of paid administrative time at the same rate, so your caseload comes with built-in, paid time for notes, coordination, and the behind-the-scenes work good care requires. Based on a 48-week clinical year, here's what that looks like:

Part-Time

$35,200–$42,240/yr

10–12 client hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Carry a part-time caseload focused on couples and relational work, seeing clients in-office on weekends and virtually
  • Use your Gottman or EFT training to help couples move through conflict, rebuild trust, and feel closer
  • Be part of a small team where consultation, support, and connection with colleagues are part of the job, not an afterthought

What We're Looking For

  • A current Michigan clinical license, full or limited (LPC, LLPC, LMSW, LLMSW, LMFT, LLMFT, or equivalent)
  • Training in the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy
  • Regular weekend availability for 10–12 client hours/week
  • A love of relational work and comfort holding space for both partners
  • Comfort working with both in-person and virtual clients
  • A grounded, collaborative approach to clinical work and to being part of a team
  • Bonus: a yoga, mindfulness, or somatic background

Room to Create

Being a clinician here isn't only about the client hour. We support clinicians who want to build something of their own within the practice, whether that's a class, a workshop, or an ongoing group, and bring it out into the Ferndale community. It's part of how we live out community care: creating spaces where people can find us, and each other, before they ever need therapy.

If you have an idea for a couples workshop, a relationship group, or another offering you'd want to run, we want to hear it, and we'll help you bring it to life.

Workshops

Focused offerings built around your specialty, like couples communication or preparing for commitment.

Groups

Recurring groups that build community and connection around the people you care about most.

Classes

Yoga, meditation, and movement-based classes open to the community.

What We Offer

  • W-2 hourly pay: $55/hour for clinical work, plus paid administrative time at the same rate (see Compensation above)
  • Couples clients matched to you through our free consultation process
  • Credentialing support with BCBS and BCN
  • For limited-licensed clinicians, we'll talk through supervision arrangements during the interview process
  • A small, supportive team where clinicians know and support one another

We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, height, weight, marital status, disability, or any other status protected under applicable federal, state, or local law.
